 will Not Come to New Haven-The
 Dry Goods Clerks.
 Work on the new ball grounds was com menced early yesterday morning, and by the end of the week it is expected that New Haven will have as good grounds as any club in the league. Gladman, of the Washing tons, whose terms Manager Donnelly accept ed on Saturday, telegraphed back yesterday that he did not want to come to New Haven anyway. The men will report here on Fri day next. As the Hartford, Waterbury and Hartford clubs are in daily practice, and have played several games already, the New Haven men will have to work quite lively to get into good condition by the time the sea- son opens with the New Yorks week from tomorrow.
 There is going to be some lively work with the willow this season amongst the dry goods clerks. Some of them have already formed hines, while others are contemplating it. The clerks in Mcintyre, Mcguire & Co.'s establishment believe in taking time by the forelock, and have therefore already organ ized two teams. One is the team as made up last year, while the other is an entirely new one. Howe 6 Stetson's clerks have nine, The clerks of Bolton & Neely's and of F. M. Brown & Co.'S establishments are to organize clubs shortly.

 The Sarsfeld Guards twenty third annual I ball given last evening at Carll's Opera House l was brilliant success. The attendance was | large and the ladies' costumes were tasteful | and pretty. The decorations at the opera | house were very elaborate. Streamers of | red, white and blue and green and from each | of the upper boxes were suspended large | American flags, the lower ends of which ! were gathered in at the top of the second ' boxes. The remainder of the embellishments were very appropriate and beautiful. The dancing took up the early part of the evening and at the intermission the Sarsfelds gave their noted drill which has won them such military reputation. The marching and countermarching and the various changes were done in almost perfect style and elicited thunders of well deserved applause.

LIFE WORTH LIvINGa

The Subject Discussed by the Con-
 sregatfonal Club Last Evening After
 PartakinS of an Excellent Supper.
 The meeting of the Congregational club last evening was very interesting one and we'll attended. About sixty sat down to the supper which was served in the lecture room of the College street church, about twenty of whom were clergyMen. There was goodly attendance of the ladies. The event of the evening, the reading of paper by Rev. pr. Willard of Norwich, took place in the audience room of the church, and several hundred listened to it with much pleasure Dr. Millard's subject was "Is life worth livings" He handled it in very able manner The paper was also far from being dry one, being we'll interspersed with anec- dotes and apt illustrations. He arrayed the pessimistic view of life in it's best light and then proceeded to give very cogent reasons to show that the pessimistic view of life was an erroneous one, and one to be avoided.
 Key. Mir. Lee, of this city, followed in re- marks upon the paper setting forth the view that the color, light and joy which Christian ity gives the tried believers ought to be a powerful reason why life is worth living.
 Professor Baldwin, Lawyer Newton and others added remarks. Rev. Dr. McLane presided

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The first presentation in this city of Gill
 bert & Sullivan's latest opera, "Ruddygore,"
 was given before large and appreciative
 audience at the New Haven Opera House last
 evening. Whatever may be said of the opera
 itself, as compared with the other works of
 it's author and composer, it certainly receiv-
 ed a frst-ra interpretation last evening.
 The principals were all artists of ability, the
 chorus and orchestra the best that have ap-
 peared here in comic opera this season, the
 costumes and dresses of the very best, and
 the scenery specially painted for the tour
 which the company is making. The opera
 will never be as popular as "Pinafore," Patience, D or 'sThe Mikado, " but we suspect would reveal the fact stated by the metropolitan critics that it's orchestral score is superior to either of them. The dance music-the minuet in the first act and the tarantelle which concludes the opera which is introduced for the first time in any of Sullivan's works, is in his best style and is as appropriate as it is beautiful. The story tells of "Robin Oakapple," the disguised owner of the Ruddygore estates, who hopes to escape the curse of his race-a curse which compels the ruling baron to commit crime every day. ''Sir Despard, ," his brother, in the meantime possesses the title and endures the consequences. "Robin" loves "Rose Maybud," simple village maiden, who lives under the protection of her aunt, "Dame Hannah" "Robin" is too bashful to propose and gets his foster brother 'Richard Dauntless" to woo for him. Richard" who4s returned sailor, wooes Rose" only too successfully and is himself accepted. While this love making is going on "Sir Despard" discovers in "Robin" his long lost brother and forces him to accept
 the baronetcy. In the second act "Robin" now become the "bad Bart."-is seen in | the family portrait hall confronted by the from their frames to demand that he commit his daily crime. He finally agrees to abduct
 a village maiden for his bride. In fulfilling | this agreement he by mistake secures pos session of "Dame Hannah" When brought into the portrait gallery this rather ancient maiden recognizes the dead baronet. ssSir | Roderick," who is persuaded that he ought | not to have died and who therefore comes to life again. The result is that ''Sir Roderickn and ''Dame Hannah" "Robin" and ssRose' \ all conclude to pair off and the opera is over.
 Many portions of the opera had to be repeat
 ed last evening in response to the applause made very favorable impression as "Rose"
 and so did Miss Agnes Stone as
 "Mad Margaret" The male principals
 were about equally clever, and if anyone de- serves special mention it is MT. George Broderick for his faithful representation of | tSir Roderick." He and Miss Kellogg re- | ceived double encore for the duet, "Heyl | lack day." Perhaps the most interested spectator was Mr. John Stetson, who occu- pied Manager Walls private box during the entire performance. s'Ruddygore" will be | given tonight, tomorrow afternoon and | evening.
